Idyllic Cottage in Dorset Garden & Parking

Really quaint little cottage with loads of character

It was so cozy and central for us

There was nothing that we didn’t like.

The cottage was very nice, it was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. It is set in a very secluded spot, with plenty of attractions around a bout. I would definitely recommend it.

Lovely cottage with a warm charm, great location, great overall! Very clean, had everything we needed for all the family (including our dog) and had a huge enclosed garden area at the front of the property.

Nothing

Lovely cosy place, simple and had everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable and the towels large and soft.

The name of the cottage… Lavender Cottage was not on the booking.com details so it took us a while to find it as it’s hidden behind trees.

A really charming cottage. Well equipped. The coffee machine with pods is a nice touch. A lovely variety of teas to choose from is a welcoming gift after a long journey. There was milk in the fridge when we arrived plus a lovely box of biscuits too. Having the use of a utility room is great if staying for more than a few days. We visited many places during our stay, Salisbury, Monkey World, and Weston-super-Mare, all within about an hour from the cottage but there is plenty more in the local area to suit all ages. Hosts are very attentive, offer plenty of information, and send regular updates and reminders. Overall it is a great place to stay and if like us you can just get on with things you will have a wonderful stay. Thank you to our hosts for helping to make my family's stay memorable 💕.

Not really a dislike just a need to be aware of comment. If you bring very young children it may not be suitable, we were travelling with a 14-month-old toddler 😀 and the stairs are easily accessible and do not have a bannister. Not a massive issue, we just moved the foot stool in front of the stairs to block access, thankfully he is not a climber yet. Also, the garden is lovely but not child-friendly, the path is very uneven and there is a big step halfway. The gate is easily opened too. However, if you watch what your children are doing then they will be just fine. Must say though our little man had a whale of a time toddling all over the garden, up and down the path, round from the front to the back, playing hide and seek 😂. If you are a disabled traveller, as I am, please note the parking space is at the end of the path, which is not wheelchair accessible. I can walk short distances but the uneven path was a concern.

Adorable cottage with garden. Ideal location for where we wanted to visit- Stourhead was less than 10 minutes away. Bovington tank museum and Jane Austen’s house within easy driving distance and not to forget Stonehenge. Good facilities provided including parking/dishwasher/washing machine/dryer/ coffee machine and fan in main bedroom! Supermarkets nearby. My daughter fell in love with the old cottage, short ceilings, creaky floorboards and the wingback chair she claimed as hers! Bedding was lovely as were the soft fluffy towels Milk in the fridge was a lovely touch after a long day driving

Only a small niggle- some things could have been a little cleaner ie cobwebs in some of windows with caught flys, some areas ie behind tv was a bit dusty and there was a couple small food splashes on microwave and kettle. Would have liked a fresh sponge and a cleaning cloth with antibacterial spray (empty bottle under the sink), but I always bring wipes just in case.
